Sony expands its XR Series with the BRAVIA A80J
An immersive viewing and gaming experience ahead
Sony goes above and beyond to bring an in-depth viewing experience with their latest BRAVIA TVs. In essence, these TVs incorporate the company’s innovations in viewing technologies that replicate our sense of sight and hearing. Now, they’re adding a new device to their impressive lineup of Cognitive Intelligence TVs: the Sony BRAVIA XR A80J.
One of the hallmark features of the Sony BRAVIA XR A80J is the Cognitive Processor XR powering its display capabilities. With this TV, you get an OLED panel and XR technologies like OLED Contrast and Motion Clarity for a smoother viewing experience. Also, the TV supports XR 4K Upscalling for devices like TV boxes to display close to true 4K quality.
For the console gamers out there, the BRAVIA XR A80J also comes with HDMI 2.1, Variable Refresh Rate and Auto Low Latency support. If you own any of the next-gen consoles, you will experience true 4K at 120Hz — thereby increasing frame rates to 120 FPS in-game. Along with these, the TV comes with Dolby Vision HDR that enhances in-game visual quality.
The Sony BRAVIA XR A80J is now available in Sony Authorized Dealers, starting at PhP 133,399 for the 55-inch model. For those who want a wider display, here are the retail prices for the other models:
- 65-inch Sony BRAVIA XR A80J: PhP 155,599
- 75-inch Sony BRAVIA XR A80J: PhP 277,799

ACMobility Launches ChargeFleet: Seamless solution for businesses
B2B solution for corporate fleets and transport groups
Ayala Group’s ACMobility has launched ChargeFleet, a new B2B digital solution for corporate fleets and transport groups.
The new service introduces a shareable digital wallet that streamlines charging expenses, reduces manual tracking, and improves cost control.
As more organizations explore electrifying their mobility operations, many continue to face operational challenges — including fragmented payment systems, reimbursement delays, and limited visibility over charging usage.
ChargeFleet addresses these gaps by introducing a centralized, shareable digital wallet. Here, fleet managers can allocate and monitor charging credits across multiple drivers across a single platform.
The system is a seamless process designed for long-term usage and easy deployment across any organization.
Once integrated, ACMobility assigns charging credits to the client’s fleet manager. The manager then can distribute these to multiple drivers. Meanwhile, the latter will be able to see and use their assigned credits via the Evro app.
ChargeFleet is available as a prepaid product through the ChargeFleet Store. Users can buy offers via GCash or credit card. No application process is required.
Looking ahead, ACMobility will continue to enhance the ChargeFleet experience with exclusive value-added perks integrated through Evro and Power on Wheels.
The upcoming features highlight ACMobility’s ongoing push to provide a future-proof support system for the evolving needs of their customers’ businesses.
By now, you’ve probably heard of Apple’s and Google’s irreverent advertising campaigns. For example, Apple used to claim that the iPhone is much more secure than an Android. Google, on the other hand, made fun of Apple for adopting new features way behind the curve. Now, a new challenger has entered the battlefield. Nothing has officially confirmed the Phone (4a) by essentially jumping on the hype for the next Apple event.
Recently, Apple released a very interesting invite for an unexpected event on March 4. It was interesting because of its unconventional timing and the recent rumor of a new entry-level MacBook. Naturally, there’s a lot of hype heading into March.
Apropos the brand’s usual marketing strategies, Nothing has released an invite of its own, confirming the launch of the launch of the Phone (4a) on March 5, a day after Apple’s event.
Of course, we’ve known about the Phone (4a) for a while now, thanks to Carl Pei’s own words last month. The more interesting bit is the invite itself.
Rather than bringing out its usual fashion-oriented aesthetics, Nothing just used Apple’s invite and literally spray-painted “Nothing” and “5 March” in neon pink letters.
It’s definitely an unconventional way to hype an event. Then again, everyone’s already excited for Apple, anyway. So it’s a case of “work smarter, not harder,” albeit straddling the fine line of ethical considerations.
This week, Apple announced a major event to start March off on the right foot. Because of the odd timing, there’s a lot riding on the upcoming event. However, Google wants to a share in the spotlight. Not to be outdone, the company has just announced when the next Google I/O is happening.
As is tradition, Google has released puzzles to tease the date of the annual conference. This time, the company teased the conference with a series of Gemini-powered minigames. They had a golf minigame and a nonogram puzzle, among others. Once you’ve solved the puzzle, you would have known the date of Google I/O ahead of the official announcement.
Well, now that a lot of people got the chance to try the games for themselves, Google officially let the cat out of the bag. The official invite is out, and you don’t need to solve a puzzle to see it. Sundar Pichai has confirmed that this year’s Google I/O is happening from May 19 to 20.
Most announcements, especially the most major keynote one, will be available to watch online for free. The company will likely share what’s coming to Android. Also, because the gamified announcements were heavily based on Gemini, we’ll likely get a healthy dose of Gemini announcements, too.
